or other like material, which is put'i'n position while in a plastic state and. afterward hardens, so that anything placed in. the concrete while it is in its Dlastic'state will beheld firmly in position when the material becomes I solid. p a I i The inventionconsists in forming a lmlder or supporter from a sheet'of iron or steel and arranging in the central portion thereof a channel for the reception ,of a bolt-head and extendingthe sides of the sl'ieet in axle-ragged,

curved, or uneven manner and putting the same in position before the concrete is in place and then inclosingit in the concrete, so as to leave exposed only the opening into the channel and the outer face of said, ledges When the device is to be utilized, say, for the support of hangers for shafting, or strip is held in or under the said channel, having suitable bolt-holes therein, and bolts whose headsare supported in the channel are passed through the blank and secured on the outer side of the plank by nuts, the plank being thus SllpPUl'tOtl by. the belt-heads in the channel, and the hangers or other object may be. secured to the plank in a manner well understood. v v

Theinvention also comprises a supporter adapted to serve as a reinforcer for the concrete when in position therein.

In the drawings, which illustrate the in-. vention, Figure 1 is across-section of a wall or ceiling and of a supporter embedded therein. Fig. 2 is a perspective View 'of a su'p' porter. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectionof a wall tar-ceiling and of a supporter embedded therein. Fig. 41s a perspective.viewot a bolt. Figs. 5 and 6 represent modifications of the device.

Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4., which disclose one construction of the invention, the wall or ceiling B is composed of plastic selfhardening material like concrete, which consists of Portland or similar cement, sand,

the countyof Middlesex and, State of Massachusetts, have inof which the following a plank I preferably steel proper width.

cut over to arrow open- .then are reversed and brought upward, so that hollowledges-c r are formed at the mouth ofthe channel, and spaces 71%, M, and ane provided. 5 The sides are preferably curved/near to each other at (Z (Z, separated by thespace j, and then they are flared outward as wings Z Z. At suitable places, as at the ends ofthe plate, the niouthor o ening' The sides'ki'f the sheet are 1) form a central channel a with a 11 may be for a short space enlarged as ck, in 1 order that the heads of bolts may be nserted into the ehannell; I

' The, 'su )ort 1s ar 'an ed in the s ace the a wall or ceiling is to occupy in any suitable .wayand inaye ftend anydistance' or length,

' and .the concrete is built up aroundfthe same,

beingpacked into the spaces h h, 'i, 'i,'and 7' and also against the outside halls of the support, leaving the-outer face of the ledges c c exposed. j

\Vhen the'concretehardens, the support is firmly held in place' aml able to Sustain heavy weights; hen the 'supportis put into use, the heads of bolts f are introduced into the channel] by way of the enlarged places 7;, or the bolt-heads may be' narrower one way than the other, as shown in Fig. '4, part portion A wooden and then turned so that the wider is supported by the ledges c c;

strip or plank 0, having holes to receive the bolts, is placed under the'channel, andnuts ;g are screwed onto the bolts-to bring the plank firmly up to the ledges. Any suitable ()bJOClJ, as a hanger for shaftlng, inaythen be secured tothe plank in a well-known nanner. 1 I prefer to perforate the nieta'lst'ripwvlth' holes 'm'at frequent intervals in order that the concrete m'ay'lock through and assist in sup porting-the same, and before the concrete is put in place I attachnictal bindersn-across from hole to hole to prevent the sheetrfroin spreading or collapsingand leave them in position. v

In Fig. 5, which is a nioditication, the Wings arcflared from the central portion in a zigzag man ner to obtain further locking effect in the concrete.
